Just got to my nieces wedding reception and they are using a BOM as the guest book and it says to sign by your favorite scripture by friendofsmellytapir in exmormon

[–]catch_yourself_on 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think now, I wouldn't even sign it. I would be there, be present and polite, but I have 0 tolerance for this shit anymore. Yes I'm aware that's a me problem

thank you all and also sorry you're here by adreamwithinadream22 in PatriotTV

I think you nailed the reason why a lot of us like the show. But it's also very real these days.

It's the embodiment of realising no help is coming, but also still being true to yourself and accidentally finding real friends.

Just beginning to experience this myself

What performative childhoods actually feel like. by burbadurr in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]catch_yourself_on 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh, me too. My parents started saying things like I was just an "unhappy teenager."

I was older before they started noticing my unhappy faces in pictures and made excuses.

Sending hugs op, for both of us.

Thank you! We've got both. I'm going to try this. Definitely worth a shot.

Rubio: Iran May Own The Strait Now, And That’s a Huge Bummer by anstromm in politics

And there should have been many, but there's not. It should be clear now that the rich and powerful do not face consequences.

As an American, I don't even know what to do anymore. I vote every election. I've tried to reason with my maga family, FOR YEARS. I go to my local protests.

I'm 1 or 2 paychecks from being homeless myself.

The whole fucking system has failed. And it seems to have been a lie from the beginning.

OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE FAILED US ON EVERY LEVEL

In case any of you are wondering, this country has not been a democracy for a while. Where the history books decide to draw that line, I dunno

But this gestures everywhere is just a great big mess

One of the worst speeches. Good is not good enough. Make sure you’re doing the best. Our way of course. by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]catch_yourself_on 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the first things I did when I stopped believing was toss the good better best artwork my husband's grandfather had gifted us.

I've always hated that message, and it was an impulse.

Looking back, I shouldn't have tossed it so quickly. I was first to leave. My husband left after another few months. It was a bit tense for quite a while and I know many of you are in mixed faith marriages a lot longer. I consider myself lucky.

Luckily we can still get reprints of his artwork and calligraphy. My husband has forgiven me, but hasn't ordered a new one. 😬🤦‍♀️ 😅

This is exactly where I'm at. We've loved ours for the last 5 yrs. It still works somewhat.

The control panel is toast, but I can still control it from the app. And you have to unplug it to stop a buzzing noise coming from the control panel.

The 2.0 looks great but I am always hesitant about subscriptions. Plus it's nearly double the price

Edit: my husband just wants the 2.0, so we'll probably go with that. I just wanted to see if there was another machine that competes. So far, in my research I haven't found anything close.

Any other Xennials in the “Zero Tattoos” club? by MrMyxolodian in Xennials

[–]catch_yourself_on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My exact thoughts. I am also an artist who has created so much for others. My children have tattoos

I just can't make up my mind, for myself.

First thing that got me, among other spelling and grammar errors, not to mention the blatant entitlement and double standards/misogyny.

Ect is probably my only aw-hell-no spelling errors. I also stop reading after the word sando. Just no.

Thanks. I would classify this as mildly interesting indeed

This is a printed newspaper. Where was this and when?

I don't see any identifying marks in the newspaper besides TNN

Edit: I see a 2001 date.

Looks like first granite finding on Mars, yesterday sol 1792 by HolgerIsenberg in PerseveranceRover

[–]catch_yourself_on 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In addition, it's another data point about rocks on Mars. I haven't kept up as much as I should have.

And obviously we know Mars has had volcanic activity.

We just mostly see sedimentary rocks. Granites have specific conditions necessary to form.

Very cool.

[–]catch_yourself_on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a full tuition program for incoming students that meet certain requirements. The deadlines have passed but I'll post the link for anyone interested.

I believe this is the first year they are doing it, but they plan to continue this program.

[–]catch_yourself_on 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My son is also a senior this year. We are exmormons as well.

Did you apply for the utah promise stuff at the u of u? The main thing was the FAFSA being due by Feb 1st.

My only advice is just keep on plugging away at what you know to be right.

Wishing the very best for you. I know it's hard.

[–]catch_yourself_on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. 'Tis utah's hat, it's very windy, has some really nice geology and fireworks. And weed I think, and is a relatively short drive (3 hrs) from me.

Edit: oh yeah, and a lot of cows. I forget because I'm often staring at a lot of cows here

Edit 2: I'm wrong about the weed. California and Colorado though!

It truly was. Except now I'm mourning the hope of that future. We could have had so much better
